Methodology

We use The Communicative Approach, which is the most contemporary and popular all over the world. All lessons are in English and the emphasis is on real meaningful communication, that’s why there’s more focus on skills work, student-centred activities and use of authentic materials in classes.

Teachers

All our teachers are highly qualified, they all have CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English) or Delta (Cambridge Diploma). All our teachers take part in ongoing teacher development, which means they are constantly updating their teaching skills and learning the latest methods to ensure language-learning success.

We employ highly experienced local teachers or professional native-speaker teachers from different backgrounds and different countries.
